Serbs disown favourite son Rod Blagojevich
Now that he has been arrested and charged with corruption, Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich (at right) is a favourite son of Serbia no longer.
Serbs used to be proud of Rod Blagojevich, the Illinois governor now being charged with trying to sell Obama’s Senate seat.
He was the epitome of the immigrant success story: the son of a Serbian steelworker, who climbed the political ladder after shining shoes and delivering pizzas.
That was then and this is now. Commenters at Belgrade newspapers appear more than ready to toss him under the bus.
Not everybody who has “ic” at the end of their name is a Serb. Does Blagojevich remember Serbia at all? He is an American. He has nothing to do with Serbia.

Blagojevich asked American Serbs to help him financially but he’s never done anything for Serbia.

Why did Milorad change his name to Rod?
This one is my favourite:
Well, one more piece of evidence that the Americans hate us. They don’t let us steal.
How un-American!
